So hot off the presses it is still warm ... and in light of Black
Breastfeeding Week next week in the USA (always August 25-31; whoo hoo!)
the timing couldn't be better.


Please follow the link to download the .pdf of the Center for Social
Inclusion's 19-page report "Removing Barriers to Breastfeeding: A
Structural Race Analysis of First Food." This paper, from the
highly-esteemed CSI, captures beautifully the barriers and institutional
racism that confound Women of Color in the USA who seek information and
support to BF. Solutions are suggested at the both policy, and place,
levels. (CSI has been one of U S Breastfeeding Committee's lead consultants
on how to effectively talk about race.)
